To cap off the amazing year we’ve had, here’s the real deal: 100-percent raw street skating for which there is no substitute. We had some amazing times this year filming Pereptual Motion, our ATV trip to the Northwest, and more. Enjoy part one below and get ready for part two tomorrow.

We had all kinds of homies roll through and film at the TWS Park in 2013: DGK, AYC, locals like Logan Taylor, Riley Hawk, and Danny Dicola—you name it, they most likely came through and shredded. Who killed it the hardest and who do you want to see in here next year?

Ledge skater, tranny skater, hesh guy, tech dude: those antiquated subspecies and categories are blurring faster than ever right about now. Long gone is the idea of a one-dimensional skateboarder who can only step to one type of spot or surface. There’s a new breed of all-terrain vehicles on the prowl, born in the harshest of concrete bowls and let loose on the wild streets. Like more refined versions of Wade Speyer, John Cardiel, and Alan Petersen before them, the kids jumping down massive handrails and gaps are the very same ones charging padless inverts on giant vert walls. With that in mind, we assembled five of skateboarding’s most well-rounded ams and shipped them up to the rugged Pacific Northwest for a week to meet up with fellow ATV Willis Kimbel and aggressively attack everything in sight. Home to some of the most intense concrete parks and roughest, weathered street spots in the world, Portland, Oregon, served our crew well. And after seven days with the troops, it became painstakingly obvious that we really are experiencing a new age in skateboarding. Welcome to the dawn of the ATV.—Kevin Duffel
